Predseda Európskej komisie Jean-Claude Juncker naozaj povedal, že s Britmi sa bude zachádzat ako s dezertérmi, pokial budú hlasovat za vystúpenie z EU v nadchádzajúcom referende. Taktiež dodal, že Velká Británia bude celit dôsledkom za takéto rozhodnutie a bude sa na nich nahliadat ako na tretiu krajinu. Výrok preto hodnotíme ako pravdivý.

"If the British should say No, which I hope they don't, then life in the EU will not go on as before," he said. "The United Kingdom will have to accept being regarded as a third country, which won't be handled with kid gloves.

"If the British leave Europe, people will have to face the consequences -- we will have to, just as they will. It's not a threat but our relations will no longer be what they are today," uviedla agentúra Reuters.
